Method and apparatus for provisioning contacts for PTT over cellular (PoC) communication
First Claim
1. A method for provisioning a contact in a push to talk (PTT) over cellular (PoC) wireless communication system having a push to commute (PTC) server, the contact identifying location informative media, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a contact having a uniform resource identifier (URI);
storing the contact in a contact/node database linked to a location corresponding to the location informative media of the contact;
creating a plurality of nodes for the contact, the plurality of nodes associated with a contact and including XML data management information for each of a name, a URI, a contact type, a media type, and a URI of the PTC server wherein the contact is stored; and
storing the contact in a subscription database, thereby allowing calls to be made to the contact.

Abstract
A push to talk (PTT) over cellular (PoC) wireless communication system (300) includes a media server (318), a push to commute (PTC) server (310) and a subscription database (328). The media server (318) identifies a contact having a uniform resource identifier (URI), the contact identifying location informative media. The PTC server (310) is coupled to the media server (318) and includes a contact/node database (316) for receiving and storing the contact therein linked to a location corresponding to the location informative media of the contact and a contact provisioner (320) for creating a plurality of nodes for the contact, the plurality of nodes associated with the contact and including XML data management information for each of a name, a URI, a contact type, a media type, and a URI of the PTC server (310) wherein the contact is stored. The subscription database (328) receives the contact and the associated plurality of nodes from the contact provisioner (320) and stores them therein, enabling calls to be made to the contact.

24. A method for transcoding a contact in a push to talk (PTT) over cellular (PoC) wireless communication system having a push to commute (PTC) server, the contact having a uniform resource identifier (URI) associated therewith and identifying location informative media, the method comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving a contact and a plurality of nodes associated therewith from a contact/node database in response to the location informative media of the contact, the plurality of nodes comprising XML data management information for each of a name, the URI associated with the contact, a contact type, a media type, a method of transcoding the location informative media of the contact, and a URI of the PTC server wherein the contact is stored; and
the PTC server transcoding the location informative media of the contact in accordance with the method of transcoding of the plurality of nodes of the contact. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. A push to talk (PTT) over cellular (PoC) wireless communication system comprising:
-
a media server identifying a contact having a uniform resource identifier (URI), the contact identifying location informative media; and
a push to commute (PTC) server coupled to the media server;
the PTC server comprising;
a media transcoder coupled to the media server for transcoding the location informative media of the contact;
a contact/node database coupled to the media server for receiving and storing the contact therein linked to a location corresponding to the location informative media of the contact;
a contact provisioner coupled to the contact/node database and creating a plurality of nodes for the contact, the plurality of nodes associated with a contact and including XML data management information for each of a name, a URI, a contact type, a media type, a method of transcoding the location informative media of the contact by the media transcoder, and a URI of the PTC server wherein the contact is stored; and
